But his soldiers were not as powerful as Ju Yi. Facing the steel swords and armor of the Tengjia Army, they were beaten back steadily, and the square formation was quickly broken by the Tengjia Army.
Ju Yi saw this scene and knew how powerful this armored army was, so he shouted: "The whole army retreats!"
After hearing Ju Yi's order, the soldiers quickly left the camp!
At this time, Zhang Baiqi pulled Wang Dang and said: "We have to leave quickly, otherwise we won't be able to leave!"
Just now Ju Yi set fires everywhere in the camp, and now less than half of the entire camp has been burned!
Both sides escape from the burning camp!
After the soldiers of the Yellow Turbans escaped, many people cried bitterly when they saw the fire. They had lived in this camp for several years and it had become like their home, but now it is all gone!
Yang Feng was also in a dilemma. After Zhang Yan died in the battle, all the money and food of the Yellow Turban Army in Wei County were seized by Dong Zhuo, and most of the money and food on the Taihang Mountains were given to Lei Gong in exchange for weapons and equipment.
So after Yang Feng and the others fled to the Taihang Mountains, they knew that they could not feed millions of people, so they simply asked everyone to take refuge with Lei Gong. He only had 20,000 young people around him, but now the camps in the Taihang Mountains were burned, and the food and grass were also burned.
If it's all gone, their Yellow Turban Army is completely out of food! If they can't find food, his team will completely collapse!
At this time, Zhang Baiqi said: "Let's go to Taiyuan County first. Even if you don't want to surrender to Commander Qu, these soldiers have been with you for several years. You can't watch them starve to death! After going to Taiyuan, you want to leave.
We won’t stop you either!”
After Yang Feng and Wang Dang discussed it, they found that they really had no other choice but to seek refuge with Lei Gong!
At this time, Wang Dang walked up to Zhang Baiqi and said: "We can go to Lei Gong, but Lei Gong will help us kill Dong Zhuo and Liu Bei to avenge the commander-in-chief!"
Zhang Baiqi said: "I dare not agree to this, you should discuss it with Qu Shuai!"
Now that they are in this situation, Yang Feng and the others don't have much choice. They can only follow Zhang Baiqi and leave!
Jizhou, Zhao State!
Ju Yi led his soldiers down the mountain, and Xu Rong led his men to greet them.
Xu Rong saw Ju Yi and smiled: "Yuntian, have you killed Yang Feng?"
Ju Yi said with a gloomy look: "No! I met the elite of the Tengjia Army. 500 of them were all wearing iron armor. They were all tall and strong, and they were much stronger than ordinary soldiers. I didn't know how these soldiers were.
After practicing it, even I was defeated when I charged into battle!"
Xu Rong said solemnly: "Lei Gong's men appeared in the Taihang Mountains. Does he also want to attack Jizhou?"
Now the military camps in Jizhou have begun, and the defenses in various places have only begun. If Lei Gong really rushes down the Taihang Mountains, it will not be a good thing for them!
Ju Yidao: "Except for these 500 people, I didn't find any of Lei Gong's other subordinates. It must be a coincidence. Although I didn't kill Yang Feng and the others in this battle, I burned down their camp. Yang Feng didn't want to starve.
If he dies, he will probably have no choice but to seek refuge with Thunder Lord!"
Xu Rong thought for a while and said: "The Yellow Turban Army is a local snake in the Taihang Mountains. It has been ravaging Jizhou for several years. It is familiar with the geography of Jizhou. Yang Feng took refuge in Lei Gong. Then Lei Gong got a group of soldiers who are familiar with Jizhou's geography. For us
Not really good news.”
The two went to Huangfu Song and reported the situation!
But Huangfu Song didn't care that Yang Feng and the others escaped, but seriously asked Ju Yidao: "How strong are the soldiers of the Tengjia Army?"
Ju Yi thought for a while and said: "Soldiers are physically strong, well-equipped, rigorous in military formation, and have high morale. They can be said to be the best in the world. Even the soldiers in Xiliang would be hard-pressed to match them, if not for their small number."
At least, I’m afraid I may not be able to retreat easily!”
Due to a hundred years of turmoil in Xiliang, the combat effectiveness of the soldiers in Xiliang was recognized as the strongest among the Han Dynasty. But now Ju Yi admitted that the soldiers in Xiliang were not as elite as the Tengjia Army. You can imagine the shock this brought to Huangfu Song.
Xu Rongdao: "There won't be too many elites like the Tengjia Army, right? Why should the general be so worried!"
Huangfu Song smiled bitterly and said: "Thunder Lord's elites are probably more than Ziyu imagined. According to the information I got, there are tens of thousands of soldiers in the Tengjia Army alone wearing iron armor, and there are hundreds of thousands of soldiers left."
Most of them have two pieces of armor, and the armor ratio alone has exceeded that of our Han army. Lei Gong has conquered the north and south to destroy the Xiongnu and defeated the Xianbei in recent years. He relied on elite soldiers and excellent weapons!"
Ju Yi was surprised and said, "Lei Gong really robbed Jizhou, how could there be so many iron armors?"
No wonder Ju Yi was so surprised. Even the imperial court couldn't equip tens of thousands of armors!
Huangfu Song shook his head and said: "This is really not true. I have been collecting information about Lei Gong during this period, and found that Lei Gong is really a genius. He is proficient in all kinds of crafts and built a steel city in Mayi. It is said that there are tens of thousands of people.
Specially used for smelting iron, the weapons and equipment of the Tengjia Army are all made by Lei Gong himself."
"Lei Gong attaches great importance to weapons and equipment. When he just started to occupy Wei County and had no conditions, he also tried to cut down vines and mobilized the people in the city to help him make vine armor. This is why Lei Gong's subordinates are called the vine armor army!"
"When he went to Mayi, the first thing Lei Gong did was to build a steel factory to produce various weapons and equipment. At the same time, Mayi was connected to the desert. Lei Gong traded with the barbarians and got a lot of cowhide, so his soldiers could wear them if they could.
Two sets of armor, in terms of equipment, the Tengjia Army is really better than the soldiers of the imperial court!"
Xu Rong said in shock: "It seems that the Tengjia Army really can't fight head-on. The strategy we formulated at the beginning was right! We can only rely on the geographical location to besiege Lei Gong to death!"
But Huangfusong smiled bitterly and said: "We have always been surprised that Bingzhou is a cold and miserable place, but it has food to house millions of refugees. Now I have found the reason!"
"Lei Gong attaches great importance to the construction of water conservancy facilities. When he went to Mayi to open up wasteland, he continued to build water conservancy facilities. It is said that there are hundreds of miles of water conservancy facilities in Mayi. Lei Gong used a thing called cement to build the canals.
The city walls must be high, and the entire Mayi actually has millions of acres of irrigated land. He also developed a kind of struvite that can be used to fertilize the land. Now Mayi's grain output has reached 4 shi per mu.
Not to mention fallow farming, we can still do three types of farming in two years!”
Ju Yi was shocked and said: "How is this possible? How can Lei Gong know so many things?"
Gu Chen
Xu Rong also sighed: "No wonder the general said he is a genius!"
Then he reacted and said: "Then it is not wrong for us to formulate a strategy to besiege Lei Gong. Lei Gong is not short of food at all?"
Huangfu Song said: "No! Our strategy is not wrong. Even though there are so many ways to increase production, Bingzhou has a weak foundation and it is difficult to feed tens of millions of people. In order to feed these tens of millions of people, Lei Gong banned the entire Bingzhou.
Grain trading, all grains are controlled by the Tengjia Army, and food stamps are formulated for everyone, stipulating how much grain they can eat every month!"
Xu Rong couldn't believe it and said: "How can this kind of policy continue to be formulated? Officials, noble families, and wealthy businessmen will definitely have more to eat! The common people will definitely starve to death!"
But Huangfu Song solemnly said: "But this policy has been implemented for more than half a year. Lei Gong himself took the lead in eating seven buckets of grain every month. The leaders of the Tengjia Army were also like Lei Gong. They set an example and the whole Bingzhou followed the example. Although
These tens of millions of people don’t have enough to eat, but not a single person starves to death!”
"So I have once again determined that Thunder Lord is the most dangerous enemy of the Han Dynasty. Fortunately, we have mastered Thunder Lord's fatal flaw! That is their lack of food!
The struvite used by Bingzhou to increase grain production is dug out from the islands of Youzhou and Jizhou. As long as we cut off the struvite in Bingzhou, Bingzhou's food production will be greatly reduced, and without food, the Tengjia Army will definitely collapse.
!”
Ju Yi was originally worried about how to deal with Lei Gong, but he didn't expect Huangfu Song to seize the weakness of Tengjia Army. He said excitedly: "General, there is nothing more to say. We will cut off the bird droppings of Tengjia Army immediately."
Shi, Lei Gong and the others can only starve to death!"
Xu Rong said angrily: "You are trying to force Lei Gong to drive tens of millions of hungry people to attack Jizhou! Although this is Lei Gong's weakness, as long as we use it, Lei Gong will definitely fight to the death and will not sit still.
Wait quietly in Bingzhou to starve to death!"
Huangfu Song nodded and said: "I have contacted Dong Zhuo of the Party and Gongsun Zan of Youzhou and asked them to build high walls and build more fortifications. We also need to build forts, dig trenches, and build archery towers in Jizhou.
Use the favorable terrain of the Taihang Mountains to build fortifications, create a steel cage, and surround Lei Gong!"
Then Huangfusong said to Ju Yi: "Yuntian, your mission is very important to destroy the Yellow Turban Army on the Taihang Mountains as soon as possible, so that we can start building fortifications!"
Ju Yi cupped his hands and said: "My subordinates must destroy the Yellow Turban bandits on Taihang Mountain within a month!"
In the next month, the Yellow Turban Army in the Taihang Mountains was in bad luck. Every few days, a group of Yellow Turban Army soldiers were wiped out by Ju Yi. They were not as lucky as Yang Feng and had Zhang Baiqi's help. Facing Ju Yi's army,
Most of the Qushuai were directly hacked to death by Ju Yi, and the tribesmen were also captured by Ju Yi, and then were taken to Zhao State to become coolies in building Wubao!
Naturally, Xu Wei and others discovered what Huangfusong and the others did in the Taihang Mountains!
Especially when they discovered that Huangfu Song kept building beacon towers and forts along the dangerous places in the Taihang Mountains. This was obviously targeting their Tengjia Army!
Wang Ge said: "Qushuai cannot continue to let Huangfu Song build the Wubao. If he continues to build the Wubao, our access to Jizhou will be blocked by Huangfu Song!"
Xu Wei said calmly: "Don't worry, Taihang Mountain is thousands of miles away, and Huangfu Song won't be able to seal it for a while!"
Zhang Baiqi said: "But Huangfu Song has made no secret of our enemies. Don't we take the initiative to disrupt Huangfu Song's plan?"
Xu Wei smiled and said: "Now Huangfu Song has made a move, now it's our turn to know how to make a move! Contact Dong Zhuo for me, I want to meet him!"
Xu Wei is not sure whether Dong Zhuo will still have his original power. After all, Huangfu Song has 100,000 troops in his hands. If he joins the princes to fight against Dong, Dong Zhuo will probably have no choice but to flee.
But Xu Wei also knew that as long as Dong Zhuo went to Luoyang City, the situation in Luoyang would definitely become more chaotic. When Huangfu Song's rear was in chaos, Xu Wei didn't believe that Huangfu Song could still confront him with such peace of mind!
Sheep Head Mountain is located at the junction of Shangdang County and Taiyuan County. After Dong Zhuo knew that Lei Gong wanted to see him, he chose this place as the place for the meeting between the two parties!
Dong Zhuo arrived early in the small pavilion, waiting for the arrival of the Thunder Lord!
"Wen You, why does Thunder Lord want to see me at this time?"
Li Ru thought for a while and said, "After Huangfu Song went to Jizhou, he kept moving. He was either conducting military camps, building forts, or killing the Yellow Turban bandits on the Taihang Mountains. I'm afraid that Lei Gong already had the intention to deal with Huangfu Song.
Now that I have met the general, I am afraid that I want to win over the general so that he can deal with Huangfu Song with all his strength!"
Dong Zhuo smiled and said: "Thunder Lord versus Huangfu Song, this is probably the most exciting battle between the Han Dynasty in the past hundred years. I really want to see who of them will win!"
To Dong Zhuo, neither side is a good bird. He really wants both sides to fight and perish together!
Li Ru thought for a while and said: "In terms of military strength alone, the Jizhou Army is still inferior to the Tengjia Army, but Huangfu Song is the number one general of the Han Dynasty, and he relies on Jizhou as a big granary. If Huangfu Song dealt with Xiliang's rebellion like he did last time,
, maybe Thunder Lord will be defeated, after all, food is Thunder Lord’s weakness! He can’t afford it!”
Dong Zhuo snorted coldly: "Young people are so greedy that they swallow millions of refugees in one go. Now you have to be supported!"
Dong Zhuo didn't believe that Lei Gong recruited refugees because he wanted to save people. In his opinion, Lei Gong just wanted to expand his strength. Now it's just Lei Gong's greed that makes him choke.
Li Ru smiled and said: "If Lei Gong hadn't been choked, our Xiliang army wouldn't be so relaxed!"
Then Li Ru said: "Teacher Yuan has sent several letters, asking us to continue approaching Luoyang City. It is best for you, general, to submit a memorial and ask the imperial court to kill Shi Changshi and them!"
Under Yuan Wei's order, Dong Zhuo had already closed the Tianjing Pass where his 30,000 men were stationed. The Tianjing Pass was only more than 200 miles away from Luoyang City, which was enough to threaten Luoyang City.
But when he got here, Dong Zhuo refused to move forward, because he was the governor of Shangdang County, and Tianjing Pass was in Shangdang County after all. It was okay for him to mobilize the army, but if he went to Hanoi County, it would be considered a violation. This kind of
Things can be big or small.
Yuan Wei now refuses to give him a promise, not to mention becoming a lieutenant, a general, or even a promotion in title, nothing!
This made Dong Zhuo also have objections to Yuan Wei, and he was unwilling to continue southward.
Dong Zhuo sighed and said: "Although Zhang Rang and the others are greedy for money, they still collect money to do things. I, the former general, was obtained by Zhang Rang and them, but now I am asked to report to the eunuch to kill the eunuch. This makes the world think of me."
, do you really regard me as a slave of the Yuan family? You won’t even give me a promise. This is because you plan to use my old boss and then kick me back to Xiliang. Since I want to go back to Xiliang,
